Internal Rot = Fusarium

This is a cross section of the main vine and this is a classic sign of Fusarium. In the image the outside of the vine appears to be healthy, however seeing the internal issues it will only be a matter of time before this problem surfaces. When an area of the vine is exhibiting these symptoms cutting sections of the vine until both the outside and inside look clean is important to reduce the chance of rot running down the entire vine causing full plant (and also pumpkin) loss.
